Did you know dragonflies are natural mosquito hunters?

Dragonflies are incredible little predators—and mosquitoes are one of their favorite meals! A single dragonfly can catch and eat dozens of insects in a day, helping keep mosquito populations in check.

So the next time you see a dragonfly zipping around your yard, give it a warm welcome. They’re not just beautiful—they’re helping us out!

Want your plants to really POP? Try the color wheel!

One easy way to make a plant stand out is to choose a pot in a complementary color—colors opposite each other on the color wheel create beautiful contrast.

Purple + Yellow = bold & vibrant
Red + Green = classic & eye-catching
Blue + Orange = energetic & striking

Before choosing a pot, look closely at your plant’s leaves. Are they deep green, lime green, burgundy, purple, or variegated? Then check the color wheel and choose a pot that contrasts with the foliage rather than blending into it.
